We have to do good things in this world, not because we will have a good result, good karma.

That is only for children, for the beginning, for the beginner of practice. Then they still need awards, merit, punishment, all these praises and blame.

But as we go to a higher dimension, a higher level of consciousness, we forget all this. We do whatever to benefit other people and whatever is righteous according to our conscience.

Not to expect anything at all in return.

If we look at the history of the world, not everyone who does the righteous things, not every act of kindness will be rewarded with the same level of goodness.

For example, you look around.

Jesus, all his life he tried to do good and be a good example of Godly qualities, but he had no fantastic reward in return. At least, I mean, when he was alive.

And Buddha, he has done a great deal for the world and for his disciples. But he had a lot of slander, blame and curses, sometimes, even close to assassination.

Gandhi, for example. He strived to do good for his people and his country. And to bring peace among religious believers in India, and what did he get in the end? A bullet.

And many other people like Kennedy of America, Abraham Lincoln, etc., etc. ​All these good people.

They sincerely tried to bring justice to the world and peace to human beings. But they all got a very tragic retribution for the good that they had done to the world.

Politically speaking even, not only in religion.

Like in Formosa here. Formosa is one of the founders of the United Nations 50 years ago.

And now what do they get?

They are kicked out of the United Nations, in preference to the Communism, which the whole world says is bad, and has to be eliminated, etc..., for example, blah, blah, blah.

So not everything that we do good will get the good things in return.

​So don't expect me to promise you that if you keep the precepts, if you eat vegetarian, I will give you all the power of protection, so that your life will be smooth and have no problems, everyone loves you, no enemies, no sickness, no accidents, no diseases, no undesired accidents or anything like that.

You keep the precepts, you do good things, because it is the only way to be a human, be a worthy human being. Understand?
